Since quitting life as a senior royal in 2020, Prince Harry has been careful to keep as much of his children’s life away from the limelight as possible.
For the past five years, Harry, 40, has been living in Montecito with his wife Meghan Markle, 43, and their two children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
While the prince and Meghan have continued with various work projects themselves, whether that be charity work, Netflix shows, or interviews, they have been careful to keep their children away from the cameras where possible.
Despite this, the couple’s children did make brief appearances in the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan in 2022, which was released by the couple in a bid to tell their own story.
In the docuseries, just snippets of footage of Archie and Lilibet were shown, however this did not stop the prince from talking fondly about his two children.
Describing his daughter, Harry made a four-word remark that showed who Lilibet really takes after.
The prince said: “She’s very Spencer-like.”
Through this remark, Harry suggested that Lilibet – named after the late Queen Elizabeth II – looked more like his mother the late Princess Diana’s side of the family, as opposed to his royal relatives.
Harry said in one episode: “I think, at the moment, I see a lot of my wife in Archie and I see a lot of my mum [Princess Diana] in Lili.”
He continued: “She’s very Spencer-like. She’s got the same blue eyes. Sort of like golden reddish hair.”
Meghan was also heard describing their only daughter as having “blue, blue, blue eyes”.
While the couple’s son Archie was born in England at a time when Harry and Meghan were still working royals, Lilibet was born in the US at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in California.
It is believed the young princess has only visited the UK once, having seen her royal relatives very few times since her birth in 2021. The princess was born the same year as the Harry and Meghan’s bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview was released, which caused some of Harry’s relationships within the Royal Family to become strained.
